How amusing, a scammer pretending to offer me compensation for being scammed (which I haven't been) by other scammers.

He might want to spell check his email address, britishcouncil_conpesation89@yahoo.co.uk, the last time I looked "compensation" was spelt with an "m" not "n".

My advice to this scammer is simple; learn to spell "Rebecca" and write better English.

Dear Beloved ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ.I am Mrs. Rebaca Peters, the wife of Mr. William Peters, both of us, are citizens of the United State of America. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003. We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband diedafter a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I\'m in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.

It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

I took this decision because I don\'t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband\'s relatives are not Christians and I don\'t want my husband\'s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death. Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to conclude this, reach me on my mail.

Your's in Christ,

Mrs. Rebaca Peters

This scammer claims to be an external auditor of a well known bank in the UK, and offers me a share in the account of a dead person.

Seemingly this deal has been sanctioned by the "Federal Ministry of Finance".

One small problem (aside from the fact that the entire proposition is bollocks), the UK does not have a "Federal Ministry of Finance".

Hello,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics although, I Wish to use this medium to get in touch with you because it's fastest
means.

I am an external auditor of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom. In one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant accounts with holding balance of £150,000,000 (One Hundred & Fifty Million British Pounds), which has not been operated for the past
three years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner who died long ago and since then nobody has done anything as regards
the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.

I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior official of the Federal Ministry of Finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with us although due to his position he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow my instructions everything will be successful because we will be working hand in hand with him. With this purpose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and after due legal processes have been followed the fund will be released to your account without delay and we will use it for investment and to assist the less privileged in the societies because if we left the fund with the government it will be fortified for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.

This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not
originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Finally, I will give you 40% for your cooperation, 10% will be for miscellaneous expenses that both parties might have incurred during this process. I would want you to understand that this
is a DEAL.

On receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction. Do contact me immediately whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign Partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, contact me URGENTLY for more details as
time is of the essence in this business.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your country.

You should send me your account information as states below where you like the money to be transfer so that I can send application for the release of the fund immediately with your account information. Even an empty account is ok.

Bank Name.................
Bank Address......................
Beneficiary Name...................
Account Number..........................
Swift Code.....................................
Your Tel/Fax Numbers.............................
State & Country....................................
Occupation...........................


I look forward hearing from you as soon as possible if you are interested.
